When pruning roses, use secateurs to trim unwanted stems and sterilise the To maintain larger tools, such as spades, shovels and hoes, remove dirt from surfaces and use a metal file to sharpen the edges. “Apply linseed oil to the handles as this will help extend the life of the timber," adds Chloe. Prune for perfection As the winter months roll on, deciduous plants become dormant and may require pruning. Fruit trees such as apple, pear, peach and plum will need a good clip back to encourage fruit production (and make harvesting easier!) In mid to late winter, prune off dead, diseased, spindly or inward- growing stems of roses. In late winter, prune autumn-fruiting raspberries back to ground level, and summer- fruiting raspberries back to fresh buds. Always prune on a dry day to reduce the risk of spreading fungal and bacterial diseases. Use super sharp tools for clean cuts and prune on an angle (so any water runs off), just above a bud on the outside of astem. Remove dead and diseased areas first, then shape as desired, but don't cut back more than about a third. To ward off infections post pruning, and before buds form, spray roses and deciduous fruit trees with a copper-based fungicide. If you're a beginner, don't be too worried about misjudged cuts — roses, for example, are resilient and can bounce back.
